DURANT SCORES 38 TO PASS JORDAN

PHOENIX: Kevin Durant scored 38 points to pass Michael Jordan with his 41st straight game of 25-plus, but it wasn’t enough to help Oklahoma City beat Phoenix on Sunday (Monday in Manila). Goran Dragic led a half dozen Suns players in double figures with 26 points as the Phoenix rallied past the Thunder 122-115 to move into sole possession of eighth place in the Western Conference standings. Durant now has at least 25 points in 41 consecutive games to surpass the legendary Jordan, who had 40 back in the 1986-87 season. Durant’s streak is now the third longest in NBA history.
